“I love watching how light can create a mood. Photography uses light to create the perfect combination of reality mixed with fantasy,” said Jada Fabrizio, Monmouth Museum’s New Jersey Emerging Artists Series artist presenting Photographic Fairy Tales from August 18th through September 17th, 2017. Her art work will be featured in the Nilson Gallery at the Museum, located at 765 Newman Springs Road, Lincroft, NJ.The Opening Reception, August 18th, will be held from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM. Fabrizio’s Gallery Talk will be held onSeptember 13th from 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM, both the Opening Reception and the Gallery Talk are free and open to the public.

In this new body of photographic work Fabrizio is able to capture a single moment, and use that moment to invoke an entire story. She said, “I believe that art should make you feel something, it should touch you, make you think, laugh, cry. I consider myself an

Using aspects of iconic imagery each photograph is packed with details that lead the viewer somewhere in their memory. Working with fictional scenes desensitizes the narrative and creates a haven for viewer sympathies. In safety, viewers are more likely to project their own experiences and narrative onto the piece. Each image is purposely unresolved. They are, in essence, stories in need of an ending.

Jada Fabrizio is an American Photographer who lives and works in Hudson County, New Jersey. She studied creative writing at SUNY New Paltz and photography at the School of Visual Arts andICP (International Center of Photography) in New York City. She received the 2016 Art Scene Today first place award for “It’s a mad mad world.”

Lincroft, NJ – The Monmouth Museum’s New Jersey Emerging Artists Series will present Nature from a Different Angle by Daniel Sroka from April 28th through May 28th, 2017 in the Nilson Gallery at the Museum, located at 765 Newman Springs Road, Lincroft, NJ. The Opening Reception, April 28th, will be held from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM. Sroka’s Gallery Talk will be held on May 17thfrom 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM, both the Opening Reception and the Gallery Talk are free and open to the public.

“I make art that recreates this feeling of holding a part of nature in your hands”

Sroka creates immersive abstract photographs from the most familiar parts of nature — leaves, shells, ice, and seeds. “I only photograph what I can hold in my hands, creating art that explores nature on a personal scale” he said. “I’ve always been more interested in a leaf that fell to the ground than the view in the distance. When I pick up a leaf and experience it first hand, nature becomes real for me: an integral and relevant part of my life.”

By working with abstraction, texture, and form, Sroka creates photographs that reveal the complexity buried within in the simplest parts of nature. His dream-like photographs balance a raw beauty with a striking sense of design. His art is sought after by distinctive resorts, spas, restaurants, and wellness offices around the world. Many of his pieces will be available in different sizes for sale at the Museum during his exhibition there.
